* The recruitment of the Council members is key to
developing a comprehensive school counseling program that
addresses the needs of all students and enables all students
to succeed academically, be responsible citizens, and become
productive members of a global economy. Council members can be
recruited from within the school district or from neighboring
communities. ASAI will provide training and resources to help
with Council member recruitment. ASAI also understands that in
some communities, it may be impossible to recruit one or more
of the required Council members. For those schools, ASAI will
provide guidance for the Steering Team, and as a last resort,
waive the membership requirement as appropriate.

GAK Partners: Recruit School Counseling Partners who will implement guidance or counseling activities. Ensure that all those implementing counseling activities are appropriately licensed in a helping profession.

College and Career Readiness Student Survey: Give the Indiana College and Career Readiness Survey to all students at least once each year. Note: The CCR Survey is an online survey. Schools report that the easiest way to survey all students is to ask teachers in a specific period to survey their students at some point during the survey window. As an alternative (not recommended), schools may survey 30 randomly selected students per grade level.

GAK Goal Consistency: Ensure that all guidance and counseling initiatives will use the GAK Vision and Goals as their foundation..

Local Discussions: Facilitate discussions with their GAK Council (five in year one / three in the following years) including an annual evaluation where Council members review student data, and update, as needed, the school’s priority goals, root causes, and activities.

Documentation: Enter documentation of the school counseling system into the RSC Online System and submit electronically to ASAI for review against ASAI’s Standards for School Counseling Systems.

Feedback Review: Review feedback from the ASAI staff regarding their submitted work, and revise work as requested to ensure that the system being designed holds high promise for helping the school reach its school counseling priority goals.

Payment: Pay ASAI the total GAK School Enrollment Fee of $18,000 in four installments. Schools will be invoiced on November 1, 2018 ($9,000), August 1, 2019 ($4,500), August 1, 2020 ($3,000), and August 1, 2021 ($1500).
